Under federal law at present, states can [I]opt[/I] out of daylight savings time altogether (as Hawaii and Arizona do), but they aren't allowed to permanently opt [I]in [/I]to it and never revert to standard time. The theory behind CT and NH's moves to Atlantic time zone is you don't need to get Congress to change the law in order to get permanent daylight savings time. Quite frankly, I think it makes sense - having everything from Michigan to Maine in the same time zone never made any sense to me. Historically, it was so that everyone on the Eastern Seaboard and related nearby rail lines was in the same time zone as New York City. But I'm not sure that matters as much in 2019. [/QUOTE]
